Who We Are

A Quick Glance

Women in Harmony is a welcoming and vibrant singing organization based in Brandon, Manitoba. Chartered in 1975 with Harmony Incorporated, we bring together women from all walks of life to share a love of a cappella, four-part barbershop-style harmony. Our mission is to foster musical growth, friendship, and community through performance, learning, and collaboration; no experience or tryouts required.

What We Do

We rehearse Monday nights, singing, learning, and perfecting our craft together. Members perform for public and private audiences, including our annual show, and are encouraged to form quartets to explore music in smaller groups.

Above all, we provide an inclusive, supportive space where women of all ages, backgrounds, and experiences can connect, grow, and enjoy the joy of making music together.

Where We Started

Women in Harmony began in the mid-1960s as the Brandon Barbershop Belles and was officially chartered with Harmony Incorporated in 1975.

In 1998, the chorus adopted the name Women in Harmony, continuing a long tradition of bringing women together to sing, grow, and connect through the joy of a cappella harmony.
